Toucan

Having a strange problem. I can sync a job through the user interface perfectly but when trying to sync using the command line it will not work and continually throws an error of "The source path is invalid". In case this matters this is on a Windows 7 machine and I am using the prerelease 2 from https://portableapps.com/node/26106.
I originally thought it was because one of the locations is a network drive mapped to a drive letter except it does sync using the main GUI.

Hi,
I think that the back up as it is now is not guaranteeing
a nice and proper restore of data. If you restore your back up, your restored folders and files could be different from the original ones from where you started the back up.
Lets make an example.

Using Toucan_3.1.0_VC10-teststatic2.paf.exe, with a mirror sync. Repeatedly pressing "Preview" will cause a crash with this error.

A breakpoint has been reached.
(0x80000003) occurred in application at location 0x7c90120e.

Can Toucan sync open (locked) files?

I would like to sync - mirror ONLY my .mobi files from
C:\My Documents\Calibre Library\..many different sub-directories..\*.mobi to
F:\e-books\

Can you please help me to do this?

Regards

Misty

hello forum
i've searched around a bit for this but not too hard so perhaps this has already been asked.
heres my question(/s).
can i use this as a script in toucan 3.x ?

day = os.date("%A")
month= os.date("MM")
if day == "monday" then
backup("weeklybackup")
else
sync("dailysync") ''almost
if month == ("january") and day == ("monday") then
secure("yearencrypt")
end
also how can i use automatic password with what command, so that it doesn't ask me any???
thanks in advance

Hello,

I want to use Toucan to sync my company PC with an USB device and my Laptop.
The first sync is perfect, but if I delete something, for example on the USB device and sync with my company PC the deleted file is back on the USB device.

Thank you for support

The option "Preview Only Changes" is very usefull for large amounts of data ( i use it on 15000 files and 400 folders). When using this over LAN/WLAN you will see first the whole tree in source and destination and little by little the folders will be removed, if they are identical. Only the things to sync will remain in the both trees.

This process takes a long time (nearly 3 hours). The functionality in general works fine, but it would be nice to see the status of syncing (in process or finished).

In previous versions I have been able to schedule a windows task using a bat file that had the simple command "toucan Script scriptname". With 3.0.4 these bat files no longer work. What is the command that I should use in the bat file for 3.0.4 to accomplish the same thing? Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to launch Toucan 3.0.4 from an SD card on a Win 7 PC. When I try to launch it, it throws the above error message.

Thing is, it just ran yesterday on this machine, and only minutes before on my Vista laptop from the same SD card.

Any ideas what's going on?

I reinstalled Toucan 3.0.4 to the card in case it was a corruption issue, but that didn't affect it. Neither Toucan nor 7zip is running (stuck) in the background, according to Task Manager.
